At Gurgle HQ, celebrations are hotting up for our first birthday (hurrah!), so what better to get us in the mood than HOW TO THROW A PERFECT PARTY (p58). It’s jammed with fun ideas and smart tips to ensure a happy and fuss-free day for your little ones. And what’s a party without a yummy cake, hey? For mummies who’ll do anything for a squeal, the recipes in BAKE ME A CAKE! (p120) are guaranteed tot-stoppers – and they’re oh-so easy to make too! Of course, for most mums, the days of stuffing cake without consequences are long gone – certainly if you want to take your pick from the 7 TOP TRENDS FOR SPRING (p36). The stark truth is that becoming a mummy can take its toll on your figure, so in EMBRACING OUR BODIES AFTER BABIES (p62) we listen in as four friends chat honestly about how they’ve learned to love what they have. And for those still struggling? Well, how about SOS! MUMS’ BODY RESCUE PLAN (p102)? Practical beauty tips on how to repair mums’ problem areas. If finding inspiring ways to earn additional income is a recurring theme, check out YOU’RE THE BOSS (p76) where we explore a host of money-spinning possibilities that might just be up your street. For anyone who’s got DIY fever, there’s heavenly bedroom inspiration in TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR (p128). And if you’re dreaming of a family break without the hassle, or cost, of flying abroad, we big up the old school charm of the Isle of Wight in IT’S ALL WIGHT HERE (p134). Happy reading! See you next time.
